Question

At the beginning of the week, Josh had 323232 computer games, 133\33, percent as many computer games as Peter had. By the end of the week, Josh gave 25\%%, percent of his computer games to Peter. How many computer games did Josh and Peter each have by the end of the week

Answer 1

`Josh =24`

`Peter = 32`

Explanation:

Given

Beginning of Week

`Josh = 32`

`Josh = 133\% * Peter`

First, we calculate the amount Peter has at the beginning of the week

`Josh = 133\% * Peter`

Make Peter the subject

`Peter = (Josh)/(133\%)`

`Peter = (32)/(133\%)`

`Peter = (32)/(1.33)`

`Peter = 24`

When Josh gave out 25%.

The number (n) of computers is:

`n = Josh * 25\%`

`n = 32 * 25\%`

`n = 8`

This means that Josh gave out 8 computers.

So, the amount they both have is:

`Josh =32 - 8`

`Josh =24`

`Peter = 24+8`

`Peter = 32`
